Shipwrecked!
Big Hickory Island beach (can you spot red-clad Robinson on the faraway island?)
"SEPTEMBER 30, 1659. - I, poor miserable Robinson Crusoe, being shipwrecked during a dreadful storm in the offing, came on shore on this dismal, unfortunate island, which I called "The Island of Despair"; all the rest of the ship's company being drowned, and myself almost dead." Daniel Defoe
Doesn't that just make you want to pick up a copy of Robinson Crusoe again and relive his adventures?
Good weekend...and good reading!

This reminds me of North Beach, Fl
lovely blues here, isabella....and u too have a great weekend!!! what are u reading this weekend??? I just picked up a book of plays by GB Shaw....am loving it totally :)
Gosh, I haven't read Robinson Crusoe since I was a kid in school.
Maybe it's time to re-read it again.
I haven't read that in ages - Alexander Selkirk.
bien trouvé le titre, il va superbement avec cette carte postale.
je te souhaite un bon weekend
found the title well, it goes superbly with this postcard. I wish you a good weekend
I wish it was real. I mean I wish I could step into that picture for an hour or two. Nice photograph.
If you visited my blog yesterday and left a comment about our 52nd wedding anniversary, I wanted to say, "Thanks."

or even Robert Lewis Stephenson, my mind is more on Treasure Island, har...
Now that's a good idea! Like Ming, I've not read it since I was at school yet remember it so well and with such pleasure. Wonderful book. As is your beautiful photograph - how idyllic can it get?
Don't tell me there is a coca cola machine at the end of the beach. I don't want to hear it.
We're off to the North Shore of Lake Superior for the week-end. The water is great but the shore is far different than this lovely place in your photo-huge rock and bolders, a geologist's paradise. Not taking RC but lots of travel adventures and memoirs. Had a good one, Isabella!
somehow I have the feeling that turning around you will see a huge city there:) But spending 28 years on an island like Robinson Crusoe did is cruel!
oh maaaaan
this is what I need right now!!
Can I get there by just closing my eyes? i really hope it!
I've been in the beach last weekend. You can see a photo in the blog... spanish beaches, there's no average, you can find a lot of differents one... the one I've showed it's not the best but the closest to me
Wouldn't mind to wreck in such a place... But for reading would prefer Jules to Daniel or, more recent, Bruce or Bill! Changing subjects, Philip would probably be Everyman's delight!? ;)
Beautiful, beautiful shot. The clouds are so low!
The beaches here in Miami are never this desolate, always too many people. I just want to lay down in this picture and take a nap. With some sunscreen of course!
I will have a great weekend if you can get me a ticket to that beach.
In ine week we;ll be lying on the beach as well. Maybe not on so amzaing one, but quite nice.
Thank's for visit and comments in our blog.
;))
Looks like your there all by yourself. How relaxing.
Friday with Digital camera a mobile and a lapteetoptee
I wish, I would be there now....
Paradise. Just beautiful.
Paradise on Earth
